Seven pertinent questions for the Philadelphia Eagles after the first week of training camp

The Eagles are hustling through the first week of training camp, and as the team starts preparation for the Jets, all eyes are on Jalen Hurts and the offense.

Even as one of the most talented teams in the league, there are still pertinent questions on both sides of the football.

Whether it’s Jalen Hurts’ development or Jonathan Gannon’s vast improvement in year two of running the defense, Philadelphia has several questions that need to be answered before the season opener at Detroit.

With the Eagles in a walkthrough on Wednesday, here are seven pertinent questions after the first week of training camp.

Eagles looking to add big named prospects to the roster as undrafted free agents

Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman looking to add big names to the roster as undrafted free agents

The Eagles entered Thursday night’s NFL draft with 10 picks after acquiring assets via 2021 trades with the Dolphins and Colts (Carson Wentz).

Prior to the start of the 2022 selection process, there was speculation that Philadelphia would look to trade up into the top-10 for an impact player. The Eagles ultimately moved from No. 15 overall up to No. 13 overall to select Georgia All-American defensive tackle, Jordan Davis.

In doing so, Philadelphia parted ways with the Nos. 15, 124, 162, and 166 picks to the Texans to move up two spots where it selected Davis.

Moments later after the Chargers used the No. 17 overall pick on Zion Johnson, the Eagles shook up the draft, trading picks No. 18 overall, and a third-round pick (101) to the Tennessee Titans for star wide receiver, A.J. Brown.

That trade left Philadelphia with four picks remaining in the draft and the idea was that Howie Roseman might try to acquire more picks on Day 3.

The Eagles now appear content to exit the draft with five or six players because of a historically strong undrafted free-agent class that could see several big names looking for a training camp home.

Recent undrafted free agents who’ve game action with Philadelphia include Corey Clement, Sua Opeta, Nate Herbig, Kayode Awosika, Joe Ostman, Jack Stoll, Brett Toth, Greg Ward, Marvin Wilson, T.J. Edwards, and future Hall of Famer Jason Peters, who originally signed with the Bills.

Eagles fear TE Jason Croom suffered a season-ending knee injury

Eagles fear TE Jason Croom suffered a season-ending knee injury

The Eagles were already without Tyree Jackson for almost three months, and now according to Ian Rapoport, tight end Jason Croom will likely miss the entire 2021 NFL season with a knee injury.

Croom left Philadelphia’s preseason game against the Patriots after suffering a non-contact knee injury that required him to be carted off.

Croom and Tyree Jackson’s injury could provide an outlet for Jack Stoll to make the team as a tight end. The Eagles already have Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, and Richard Rodgers, so it’s a long shot.
